A House GOP leadership aide told Business Insider that "a lot of
members like some version of the idea" of a six-week solution.

The key movement could come sometime early next week, brushing up
against an Oct. 17 deadline to raise the debt ceiling. That's
when — if there's still no clear path forward — members could
push for a solution.

There could be a surprising source of support for this option,
however. Conservative commentator and RedState editor-in-chief Erick
Erickson advocated a short-term increase so that the
focus would shift back to the right's effort to defund
Obamacare.

According to the Huffington Post, Heritage
Action and FreedomWorks also backed away from a debt ceiling
fight on Wednesday, citing their wish to put focus back to the
government-funding fight.
